How does my account differ from my student's?

Students use their school username and password to log onto Schoology via Microsoft's Office 365. They are able to contribute to classroom discussions, download textbooks, and take tests. Parents and guardians can view most of these items, but cannot download textbooks, take quizzes or join classroom conversations with students.
